1. If you could go back in time and take one item from the past, what would you take?

i have been sitting here for 15 minutes thinking about this omg. okay, so i'm sure there are plenty of more important and noble things to do, but what i'm gonna say is: i'd go back to 324-323 bce and i'd take whatever record or relic i found most interesting about alexander the great, especially if it also relates to hephaestion, don't even look at me, i have emotions.

2. Can you draw?

i like to think i do, even if not very well lmao

3. What’s your favourite book?

i can't choose one favourite book, i've read too many books to pick just one! i can, however, name a few that i thoroughly enjoy, such as pressfield's virtues of war, palahniuk's lullaby and survivor, khaled hosseini's kite runner, cameron's god of war, the harry potter series and a song of ice and fire series.

4. Who is your favourite character ever?

this is cruel, i'm not gonna pick one single character (again) :p i am incredibly attached to a number of fictional characters, among others castiel (spn), dr spencer reid (criminal minds), stiles stilinski (teen wolf), sasuke uchiha (naruto), gannicus (spartacus) and neal caffrey (white collar).

5. What do you keep on your bedside table?

hmm, okay, let me look. the book i am currently reading, my ipod and earphones, a coaster, Stress Paul, nasal drops, a ballpoint pen, a few post-its (one of which contains a list of all my shows divided by days on which they air), my cellphone, the tv remote and occasionally a glass of juice or a mug of coffee or tea. that's a lot of stuff lmao

6. Do you have any pets?

i do, i have three - a turtle and two dogs

7. Do you like jewellery?

i love jewelry, i have like 725356983625 pairs of earrings, a ton of necklaces and then i'm a bit low on rings and bracelets, so yeah, i love jewelry; if anyone's ever buying me a gift, jewelry is always a good way to go

8. If you could live in any city in the world, where would you live?

fuck, man, idk. london, new york, stockholm... i'm a city kid, so a big urban place, somewhere with a mostly cold climate since i hate heat. at this point, though, i'll take anything other than where i'm living now. and africa. and south america. and most of asia. so basically i'll take any cold city in europe or north america or japan.

9. Do you have any posters in your room?

nope. i used to have a wallpaper made of posters, and then we painted so i had to take them down. but our roof started leaking so now we need to repaint again and we keep postponing it because we don't have the money or the time, but every time i think about putting something up i see the mess that is my ceiling and cross my fingers and hope we redecorate soon. in the meantime, i've stopped collecting things that i can put up on walls so i guess i won't be collaging wallpapers again anyway.

10. If you suddenly had the ability to breathe fire, what would you do?

i'd use my newly acquired powers to speed up the process of making delicious, crispy meaty lunches. and hope to god i never burn my friends by accident.

11. How many hats do you own?

actually, none. i own three winter caps that i love wearing and i have a few baseball caps that i haven't seen in ages, but i don't own a single hat, now that i think about it. this needs to be rectified. soon.

tink asks y'all the randomest shit

1 - describe your favourite tea/coffee mug

2 - which language with an alphabet that is not latin would you most like to learn?

3 - what is your earliest memory?

4 - would you rather have a scaly tail or useless leather wings?

5 - would you rather lose your sight or your hearing?

6 - are you religious and if so, what is your religion?

7 - which mythical creature would you make real if you had the power to do so?

8 - rubies, emeralds or sapphires?

9 - what is your favourite alcoholic beverage?

10 - would you rather live a long life, have a steady job and a family but never do anything that would make you famous or widely important and be forgotten after your death, or live a relatively short life but go down in history for what you did?

11 - one day you come home to find it stripped of everything you own. there are four different jewelry boxes in the hallway, of which you can only open one. the first box is small, made of carved dark wood and it looks old; the inscription on it promises to give you back everything at an unnamed price that you will pay at some random time in the future. the second box is large and ornate and golden and it offers you a new, better life, living where you always wanted with the job you always wanted to have, a chance to reinvent yourself, but you must never go back - no contact with the people you're leaving behind, no visiting the place where you used to live. the third box is made of onyx and has some weird looking runes on it; it will take you to a whole different universe, a place of myth and magic, the kind of thing you read about in books, with knights and dragons and wizards and merpeople, but it doesn't tell you what your role will be in this new place; you may take three people from your current life with you. the fourth box, a simple metal one, is a total wild card, you have no idea where you're going or who's gonna be there still, all you know is that you won't be unhappy.
